TECHNICAL FIELD

This application relates to the field of electronic devices, and in particular, to a method for presenting a video on an electronic device when there is an incoming call and an electronic device.

BACKGROUND

A mobile phone terminal can play only a ringtone when there is an incoming call. Because an incoming call is a high-frequency scenario of the mobile phone terminal, a user may answer incoming calls for a plurality of times every day. However, the mobile phone terminal plays a same phone ringtone each time, which cannot bring freshness to the user. Consequently, user experience is relatively poor when there is an incoming call for the user.

SUMMARY

This application provides a method for presenting a video on an electronic device when there is an incoming call and an electronic device, to improve user experience when there is an incoming call.

According to a first aspect, a method for presenting a video on an electronic device when there is an incoming call is provided. The electronic device includes a screen. The method includes the following. The electronic device receives a first incoming call request, the electronic device displays a first incoming call display interface on the screen based on the first incoming call request, and plays a first video in the first incoming call display interface, the electronic device receives a second incoming call request, and the electronic device displays a second incoming call display interface on the screen based on the second incoming call request, and plays a second video in the second incoming call display interface, where the first incoming call request and the second incoming call request are two call requests consecutively received by the electronic device, and the first video is different from the second video.

According to the method, provided in this embodiment of this application, for presenting a video on an electronic device when there is an incoming call, a user is allowed to select a plurality of incoming call videos, and video content that is different from video content displayed when a previous incoming call is received may be displayed each time an incoming call is received, thereby bringing good experience to the user.

In some possible implementations, the first video and the second video may be locally stored in the electronic device in advance. Alternatively, the first video and the second video may be obtained after a request is sent to a network in real time when an incoming call request is received.

For example, in the future, the electronic device may be served by a 5^(th) generation mobile communications network (5G), and a transmission speed of the 5G may reach tens of gigabits (Gb) per second (s). When receiving an incoming call request, the electronic device may request, from the network in real time, an incoming call video to be played in an incoming call display interface, and a delay of the incoming call video is very small, almost negligible, and does not affect user experience.

In some possible implementations, the method further includes the following. The electronic device requests a plurality of videos from a server, where the plurality of videos include the first video and the second video, and the electronic device receives the plurality of videos sent by the server.

According to the method, in this embodiment of this application, for presenting a video on an electronic device when there is an incoming call, the user is allowed to select a video theme, the video theme may include a plurality of videos, and video content that is different from video content displayed when a previous incoming call is received may be displayed each time an incoming call is received, thereby bringing good experience to the user.

With reference to the first aspect, in some possible implementations of the first aspect, before playing the second video in the second incoming call display interface, the method further includes the following, The electronic device automatically determines the second video that needs to be played in the second incoming call display interface.

According to the method, provided in this embodiment of this application, for presenting a video on an electronic device when there is an incoming call, the electronic device can automatically switch video content between two consecutive incoming calls without a manual operation of the user. This helps improve user experience.

It should be understood that “automatic switching” in this embodiment of this application is not an action of switching to another video in a process of playing a video by the electronic device. In other words, “automatic switching” is not an action in a process of continuously playing videos. Instead, it should be understood as that after an incoming call request is received, the electronic device plays the first video, and then the video disappears from the screen after the call ends, and after an incoming call request is received next time, a played incoming call video automatically changes to the second video.

In some possible implementations, a time point at which the electronic device automatically determines the second video that needs to be played in the second incoming call display interface may be a time point at which the electronic device requests the first video and the second video from the server, or may be a time point at which the electronic device detects, in the first incoming call display interface, an operation of answering or hanging up an incoming call by the user, or may be a time point at which the electronic device receives a second incoming call request.

With reference to the first aspect, in some possible implementations of the first aspect, the method further includes the following. The electronic device receives a setting instruction of the user, where the setting instruction is used to specify a range of video content played in an incoming call display interface, and the electronic device determines the first video and the second video based on the range specified by the setting instruction.

According to the method, provided in this embodiment of this application, for presenting a video on an electronic device when there is an incoming call, the electronic device determines the range of the video content played in the incoming call display interface, to help the electronic device timely play a video in the range.

In some possible implementations, the range of the video content played in the incoming call display interface may be videos stored in a first storage path of the electronic device.

In some possible implementations, the range of the video content played in the incoming call display interface may be videos having label information (which may alternatively be referred to as a theme or a type).

With reference to the first aspect, in some possible implementations of the first aspect, at least a first subscriber identity module card and a second subscriber identity module card may be installed in the electronic device. The configuration instruction includes a first configuration instruction and a second configuration instruction. The first configuration instruction is used to specify a range of a video played in an incoming call display interface corresponding to an incoming call of the first subscriber identity module card. The second configuration instruction is used to specify a range of a video played in an incoming call display interface corresponding to an incoming call of the first subscriber identity module card.

According to the method, provided in this embodiment of this application, for presenting a video on an electronic device when there is an incoming call, different incoming call videos may be set for different subscriber identity module cards. This helps improve user experience when there is an incoming call.

With reference to the first aspect, in some possible implementations of the first aspect, at least a first subscriber identity module card and a second subscriber identity module card may be installed in the electronic device. That the first incoming call request and the second incoming call request are two call requests consecutively received by the electronic device means that the first incoming call request and the second incoming call request are two call requests of the first subscriber identity module card. Alternatively, that the first incoming call request and the second incoming call request are two call requests consecutively received by the electronic device means that, the first incoming call request and the second incoming call request are two consecutive call requests of the second subscriber identity module card.

In some possible implementations, when the first incoming call request and the second incoming call request are two call requests of the first subscriber identity module card, different videos in a first video theme are played in an incoming call display interface of the electronic device, and when the first incoming call request and the second incoming call request are two consecutive call requests of the second subscriber identity module card, different videos in a second video theme are played in an incoming call display interface of the electronic device. The first video theme is different from the second video theme.

According to the method, provided in this embodiment of this application, for presenting a video on an electronic device when there is an incoming call, for a same subscriber identity module card, when receiving an incoming call request at different time points, the electronic device may play, in an incoming call display interface, different videos in a same video theme, and for another subscriber identity module card, when receiving an incoming call request at different time points, the electronic device may play, in an incoming call display interface, different videos in another video theme. This helps improve user experience when there is an incoming call.

With reference to the first aspect, in some possible implementations of the first aspect, before the receiving a first incoming call request, the method further includes the following. The electronic device detects a first operation of the user when the first video is played or a file of the first video is displayed, and the electronic device sets, in response to the first operation, the first video as a candidate video to be played in an incoming call display interface.

According to the method, provided in this embodiment of this application, for presenting a video on an electronic device when there is an incoming call, when the user is watching a video or a video file is being displayed, the user may set the currently watched video or the displayed video file as an incoming call video, so that the user can timely adjust an incoming call video that, the user expects to watch. This helps improve user experience.

With reference to the first aspect, in some possible implementations of the first aspect, before the receiving a first incoming call request, the method further includes the following. The electronic device detects a first operation of the user when a third video is played or a file of the third video is displayed, the electronic device displays a setting interface for the third video in response to the first operation, the electronic device detects a selection operation of the user, where: the selection operation is used to select a partial video clip in the third video, and the electronic device determines the partial video clip in the third video as the first video based on the selection operation, and sets the first video as a candidate video to be played in an incoming call display interface.

According to the method, provided in this embodiment of this application, for presenting a video on an electronic device when there is an incoming call, when the user watches a video or it is shown that duration of a video file is excessively long, the electronic device may remind the user to perform video clipping, so that the user watches a video clip that the user prefers when there is an incoming call. This helps improve user experience.

In some possible implementations, when the electronic device determines that duration of a current video or a current video file is greater than or equal to a. first duration threshold, the electronic device prompts the user to perform a video clipping operation.

With reference to the first aspect, in some possible implementations of the first aspect, before the receiving a first incoming call request, the method further includes the following. The electronic device adjusts definition of the first video.

According to the method, provided in this embodiment of this application, for presenting a video on an electronic device when there is an incoming call, when definition of a video selected by the user does not meet a definition requirement of playing a video in an incoming call display interface, the electronic device may automatically update the definition of the video, so that the user can timely watch a video that the user likes when there is an incoming call. This helps improve user experience.

With reference to the first aspect, in some possible implementations of the first aspect, when the first video is played in the first incoming call display interface, the method further includes detecting a second operation of the user, and displaying, by the electronic device, a first control in the first incoming call display interface in response to the second operation, where the first control is used by the user to add the first video to favorites, give a like to the first video, or forward the first video,

With reference to the first aspect, in some possible implementations of the first aspect, the first incoming call display interface and the second incoming call display interface each further display an answering user interface (UI) control and a hang-up UI control. When the answering UI control is triggered, the electronic device answers an incoming call, and when the hang-up UI control is triggered, the electronic device hangs up an incoming call.

In some possible implementations, when the electronic device detects that the user triggers the answering UI control or the hang-up UI control, video content in an incoming call display interface automatically disappears.

FIG. 3A to FIG. 3D show a group of graphical user interfaces (GUI) of a mobile phone.

Referring to a GUI shown in FIG. 3A, the GUI is a desktop 301 of the mobile phone. After detecting that a user taps an icon 302 of a theme application (APP) on the desktop 301, the mobile phone may start the theme application, and display a GUI shown in FIG. 3B.

Referring to the GUI shown in FIG. 3B, the theme application includes themes about “fonts”, “wallpapers”, “hybrids”, and “ringtones”. After detecting that the user taps a “ringtone” icon 303, the mobile phone displays a GUI shown in FIG. 3C.

Referring to the GUI shown in FIG. 3C, the “ringtone” includes “audio” and “video”, and “video” themes include video theme types 1-6. After detecting that the user selects a control 304 of the video theme type 5 and taps the control 304, the mobile phone loads the video theme type 5 to the mobile phone.

For example, the video theme type 5 may include a plurality of videos with different content.

It should be understood that, after detecting that the user taps the control 304, the mobile phone may request, from an incoming call video server, a plurality of pieces of video content corresponding to the video theme type 5. After the incoming call video server returns the plurality of pieces of corresponding video content, the mobile phone may load the plurality of pieces of video content to the mobile phone.

Referring to a GUI. shown in FIG. 3D, when there is an incoming call from a user “Wu Xiaofang”, a video 1 in the video theme type 5 may be displayed in an incoming call display interface of the mobile phone.

According to the method, in this embodiment of this application, for presenting an incoming call video, the user is allowed to select a video theme and video content that is played each time an incoming call is received, thereby bringing good experience to the user.

FIG. 4A and FIG. 4B are a schematic diagram of another group of GUIs according to an embodiment of this application.

Referring to a GUI shown in FIG. 4A, when there is an incoming call from a user “Wu Xiaofang” at 9:10, a video 2 in a video theme type 5 is displayed in an incoming call display interface displayed on a display of a mobile phone.

Referring to a GUI shown in FIG. 4B, when there is an incoming call from the user “Wu Xiaofang” at 11:15, a video 3 in the video theme type 5 is displayed in an incoming call display interface displayed on the display of the mobile phone.

In an embodiment, after detecting that a user taps a control 304, the mobile phone may request video information in the video theme type 5 from a corresponding server. The server may send a plurality of videos in the video theme type 5 to the mobile phone. The mobile phone may store the plurality of videos in a folder (for example, the folder may be named as an “incoming call video” folder) in the mobile phone. Each time there is an incoming call from a user, the mobile phone may select a video from the “incoming call video” folder as an incoming call display video.

Optionally, the mobile phone may use a sequence of receiving the plurality of videos from the server as a display sequence of incoming call videos, or the mobile phone may randomly select a video from the “incoming call video” folder as an incoming call video.

In another embodiment, after requesting a plurality of videos in the video theme type 5 from the server, the mobile phone may process the plurality of videos.

For example, the plurality of videos are labeled, and a label of each video may be “video theme type 5”. When there is an incoming call from a user, the mobile phone may search for the videos whose labels are “video theme type 5” stored in the mobile phone, and use one of these videos as an incoming call video.

In another embodiment, labels of a plurality of videos downloaded by the mobile phone from the server may be “video theme type 5”, and the mobile phone also stores labels, which are also “video theme type 5”, of videos that are previously shot or downloaded from another place by the user. In this case, when there is an incoming call from a user, the mobile phone may select a video from all the videos whose labels are “video theme type 5” as an incoming call video.

In another embodiment, after detecting that the user taps the control 304, the mobile phone may not request a plurality of videos in the video theme type 5 from the server in advance. When receiving an incoming call request, the electronic device may request an incoming call video from the server in real time.

For example, at 9:10, while detecting an incoming call from the user “Wu Xiaofang”, the mobile phone requests and receives the video 2 sent by the server, and plays the video 2 in the incoming call display interface.

In another embodiment, after detecting that the user taps the control 304, the mobile phone may determine a network address without requesting a plurality of videos in the video theme type 5 from the server. The plurality of videos in the video theme type 5 are stored in the network address. When receiving an incoming call request, the electronic device can request an incoming call video from the server in real time. For example, at 9:10, while detecting an incoming call from the user “Wu Xiaofang”, the mobile phone downloads the video 2 from the network address in real time, and plays the video 2 in the incoming call display interface.

it should be understood that a network service enjoyed by a future electronic device may be a 5G or higher-speed network service. A delay from a time point at which the electronic device receives an incoming call request to a time point at which the electronic device requests an incoming call video that needs to be played and plays the video in an incoming call display interface may be ignored, and user experience is not affected.

In an embodiment, the incoming call from the user “Wu Xiaofang” at 9:10 and the incoming call from the user “Wu Xiaofang” at 11:15 may be two consecutive incoming calls received by the mobile phone. Alternatively, the two calls may not be two consecutive calls. For example, an incoming call from a user “Zhang Xiaofang” is received at 10:30, and a video 4 in the theme type 5 is displayed on the display of the mobile phone.

Optionally, when the incoming call from the user “Wu Xiaofang” at 9:10 and the incoming call from the user “Wu Xiaofang” at 11:15 are two consecutive incoming calls received by the mobile phone, the mobile phone automatically determines that an incoming call video that needs to be played for the incoming call at 11:15 is the video 3.

For example, the mobile phone downloads, from the server, a plurality of videos (for example, the plurality of videos include a video 1, the video 2, the video 3, and the video 4) corresponding to the video theme type 5, and stores the plurality of videos in a storage path in the mobile phone. When receiving the incoming call from the user “Wu Xiaofang” at 9:10, the mobile phone determines, in the storage path, the video 2 that needs to be played.

When receiving the incoming call from the user “Wu Xiaofang” at 11:15, the mobile phone may automatically determine, from this storage path, the video 3 that needs to be played, or the mobile phone may automatically switch an incoming call video that needs to be played from the video 2 to the video 3 in this storage path.

It should be understood that a time point at which the mobile phone automatically determines an incoming call video at 11:15 may be a time point at which the mobile phone requests a plurality of videos of the “video theme type 5” from the server. The mobile phone may automatically determine a sequence of playing the plurality of videos. For example, the video 1, the video 2, and the video 3 are played based on a sequence of incoming calls. Alternatively, the time point at which the mobile phone automatically determines the incoming call video at 11:15 may be any time point after the mobile phone receives the incoming call at 9:10 and before the mobile phone receives the incoming call at 11:15. Alternatively, the time point at which the mobile phone automatically determines the incoming call video at 11:15 may be a time point at which the mobile phone receives the incoming call from the user at 11:15, and the mobile phone may automatically determine, from the plurality of videos, any video (for example, the video 3) other than the video 2 as the incoming call video that needs to be played. In this embodiment of this application, a time point at which the mobile phone automatically determines the video 3 is not limited.

According to the method, in this embodiment of this application, for presenting a video on an electronic device when there is an incoming call, the user is allowed to select a video theme, the video theme may include a plurality of videos, and video content that is different from video content displayed when a previous incoming call is received may be displayed each time an incoming call is received, thereby bringing good experience to the user.

In an embodiment, when receiving a current incoming call request, the mobile phone may determine video content to be played when a next incoming call is received, and video content to be played in a current incoming call display interface is automatically determined by the mobile phone when a previous incoming call is received. In addition, video content played for each incoming call is different from a video played for the previous incoming call.

In an embodiment, each time the mobile phone receives an incoming call request, the mobile phone may automatically determine the video content to be displayed in the current incoming call display interface, so that the video content played for each incoming call is different from the video played for the previous incoming call.

In an embodiment, after receiving the current incoming call request, the mobile phone may automatically determine, at any time point before receiving a next incoming call request, video content played in an incoming call display interface, so that the video content played for each incoming call is different from the video played for the previous incoming call.

In this specification, both “when an XX event occurs, a YY step is performed” and “after the XX event occurs, the YY step is performed” mean that the YY step is performed based on the occurrence of the XX event, and simultaneity or a sequence of the XX event and the YY step is not strictly limited.

According to the method, in this embodiment of this application, for presenting a video on an electronic device when there is an incoming call, the user is allowed to select a video theme, the video theme may include a plurality of videos, and video content that is different from video content displayed when a previous incoming call is received may be displayed each time an incoming call is received, thereby bringing good experience to the user.

In a possible implementation, the mobile phone may display an incoming call video based on a sequence of storing the four videos in the “cute puppies” category 603, or the mobile phone may randomly select one of the four videos as an incoming call video.

in a possible implementation, the user may further set a definition of an incoming call video or a system has a default definition. After the mobile phone detects that the user taps the control 602, if the definition of the video 601 is higher than a highest definition allowed for the incoming call video, the mobile phone may process the video 601 to reduce the definition of the video 601.

It should be understood that, when the mobile phone detects that the user taps the GUI shown in FIG. 5D to enter local loading, the mobile phone may display the album interface of the mobile phone to select an incoming call video that needs to be loaded.

In a possible implementation, when the user taps the GUI shown in FIG. 5D to enter local loading, the mobile phone may display only locally stored video content. For example, after the mobile phone detects that the user taps “local loading”, the GUI shown in FIG. 6C may be displayed, and the user may choose to use a video in the “cute puppies” category 603 as an incoming call video. In this case, the incoming call video of the first SIM card is updated from “Naruto” to “cute puppies”.

In a possible implementation, the mobile phone may invoke an interface for setting an incoming call video. In a video playing application, after an operation of the user is detected, a video that the user watches in real time may be set as an incoming call video.

Referring to a GUI shown in FIG. 7A, the GUI is a desktop of a mobile phone. After detecting that a user taps an icon 701 of a video APP on the desktop 301, the mobile phone may start the video APP, and display a GUI shown in FIG. 7B. The video app may be pre-installed on the mobile phone or developed by a third party.

Referring to the GUI shown in FIG. 713 , the user may watch a video in real time by using the video APP. After detecting an operation of sliding upward, sliding downward, sliding leftward, or sliding rightward by the user, the mobile phone may switch video content.

The GUI further includes a like control, a message control, a forwarding control, and a control 702 for setting an incoming call video. The video APP may invoke an interface, in the mobile phone, for setting an incoming call video, and then the control 702 is displayed in the video APP. After the mobile phone detects that the user taps the control 702, a currently watched video can be set as an incoming call video.

According to the method, provided in this embodiment of this application, for presenting a video on an electronic device when there is an incoming call, when the user is watching a video or a video file is being displayed, the user may set the currently watched video or the displayed video file as an incoming call video, so that the user can timely adjust an incoming call video that the user expects to watch. This helps improve user experience,

In an embodiment, if the currently watched video is an offline video, the mobile phone may download the video from a network, and store the video locally in the mobile phone. When there is an incoming call, the mobile phone can obtain the downloaded video locally for playing.

In an embodiment, after detecting that the user taps the control 702, the mobile phone may provide an interface, and the user may select a start time and an end time of a currently played video. For example, duration of the currently played video is 10 minutes, and the user may randomly select a time period in which the user is interested, for example, from 3 minutes and 20 seconds to 3 minutes and 40 seconds, After the user selects the time period in which the user is interested, the mobile phone may capture an original video, and store a video clip in a storage folder of incoming call videos. In an embodiment, after the mobile phone detects that the user taps the control 702, if the mobile phone determines that a definition of a currently played video of “Cat” is higher than a highest definition allowed for an incoming call video, the mobile phone may process the definition of the video of “Cat” to reduce the definition of the video.

In an embodiment, the user may tap, in the video APP, the control 702 for a plurality of pieces of video content, and the mobile phone may store, in an incoming call video folder in the mobile phone, video content for which the control 702 is tapped by the user. When there is an incoming call from another user, the incoming call video may be played based on a sequence in which the user taps the control 702 for the plurality of pieces of video content, or any one of the plurality of pieces of video content may be randomly played.

Referring to a GUI shown in FIG. 7C, when there is an incoming call from a user “Zhang San”, the incoming call video of the mobile phone is displayed as the video content shown in FIG. 7B, or a part of the video content, captured by the user, shown in FIG. 7B is displayed.

In a possible implementation, the GUI interface further includes a theme name “Cat” of the video.

Referring to a GUI shown in FIG. 7D, when there is an incoming call from the user “Zhang San”, the incoming call video of the mobile phone is displayed as the video content shown in FIG. 7B, or a part of the video content, captured by the user, shown in FIG. 7B is displayed. The GUI interface further includes an operation interface. The operation interface includes a favorites control 703, a like control 704, a sharing control 705, and more introduction content of the video of “Cat”. As shown in FIG. 7D, the introduction content of the video of “Cat” is that “the Cat is a cute animal which can accompany the human being through the lonely time”.

It should be understood that, when the mobile phone detects that the user taps the control 703, the mobile phone may determine that a current video is a video liked by the user, and the mobile phone may not delete the video when updating incoming call videos. For example, the mobile phone downloads 10 videos from a server (it is assumed that a maximum quantity of incoming call videos stored in the mobile phone is 10). When there is an incoming call, the mobile phone detects that the user adds two of the videos to favorites. After a period of time, the two videos may not be deleted when the mobile phone updates the incoming call videos, the other eight videos other than the two incoming call videos from the 10 downloaded videos are deleted, and eight new videos are downloaded from the server.

It should be further understood that, after detecting that the user taps the control 704, the mobile phone may send corresponding like data to the server. After collecting statistics, the server may update information in a theme application in real time. For example, after opening the theme application, the user can view incoming call video theme types sorted based on a quantity of likes in descending order.

In an embodiment, when there is an incoming call from another user, the mobile phone may display video content and a theme name corresponding to a video in an incoming call video interface. When the mobile phone detects a preset gesture of the user in the incoming call video interface, or when the mobile phone detects that the user taps a button, the operation interface is displayed, so that the user can perform an operation, for example, adding to favorites, giving likes, or sharing. According to the method for presenting an incoming call video in this embodiment of this application, an application invokes an interface for setting an incoming call video, so that the user can set a liked video as an incoming call video in real time when watching videos. This improves user experience.

In an embodiment, incoming call videos subscribed by the user may be deleted based on a time sequence of storage. For example, a video that has been stored for 10 days is automatically deleted. Alternatively, if a size of videos in the incoming call video folder exceeds a specific capacity (for example, 200 M) or a quantity of the videos exceeds a specific quantity (for example, 20), the videos are deleted in sequence from the longest storage time based on lengths of storage times, until the size of the videos is less than 200 MB or the quantity of the videos is less than 20. However, a video that is used as an incoming call video and is added to favorites by the user may not be deleted.

FIG. 8A and FIG. 8B are a schematic diagram of another group of GUIs according to an embodiment of this application. This group of GUIs shows a process of manually capturing a. video clip by the user.

For example, total duration of the currently played video in the GUI shown in FIG. 7B is 10 minutes. After detecting that the user taps the control 702, the mobile phone may display a GUI shown in FIG. 8A. Referring to FIG. 8A, the mobile phone may remind the user by using words (or voices) that “The total duration of the currently played video is excessively long. Do you want to clip the video?”. After detecting that the user taps a control 801, the mobile phone displays a GUI shown in FIG. 8B.

In a possible implementation, when the duration of the played video is greater than or equal to a first duration threshold (for example, 2 minutes), the GUI shown in FIG. 8A is displayed. When the duration of the played video is less than the first duration threshold, after an operation of tapping the control 702 by the user is detected, the video is directly determined as an incoming call video.

Referring to the GUI shown in FIG. 8B, the user may input a start clipping time point, for example, 000320, of the video to an input box 802, and input an end clipping time point, for example, 000340, of the video in an input box 803. After detecting that the user taps a control 804, the mobile phone determines a video clip (a 20-second video from 3 minutes and 20 seconds to 3 minutes and 40 seconds in the original video) obtained after video clipping as an incoming call video.

According to the method, provided in this embodiment of this application, for presenting a video on an electronic device when there is an incoming call, when the user watches a video or it is shown that duration of a video file is excessively long, the electronic device may remind the user to perform video clipping, so that the user watches a video clip that the user prefers when there is an incoming call. This helps improve user experience.

FIG. 9A and FIG. 9B are a schematic diagram of another group of GUIs according to an embodiment of this application.

Referring to a GUI shown in FIG. 9A, when there is an incoming call from a user “Li Si”, video content that is previously loaded from a theme application, selected from an album, or selected from a third-party video play application by a user may be displayed in an incoming call video interface, In addition, the incoming call video interface further includes a control 901. After detecting that the user taps the control 901, the mobile phone no longer plays and displays an incoming call video, and displays a GUI shown in FIG. 9B.

Referring to the GUI shown in FIG. 9B, the mobile phone may not display any video content on the incoming call video interface.

FIG. 10 is a schematic flowchart of a method 1000 for presenting a video on an electronic device when there is an incoming call according to an embodiment of this application. As shown in FIG. 9 , the method includes the following steps.

S1010: Detect a first operation, performed by a user A, of tapping a subscribed incoming call video theme type.

S1020: An electronic device 1 synchronizes with an incoming call video server and preloads video content of the incoming call video theme type.

In this embodiment of this application, that the electronic device 1 preloads the incoming call video theme type may also be understood as that the electronic device 1 locally caches the video content of the incoming call video theme type in the electronic device 1, or the electronic device 1 downloads the video content of the incoming call video theme type from the incoming call video server.

S1030: A user B makes a call to the user A by using an electronic device 2.

S1040: Display video content 1 in an incoming call interface of the electronic device 1, where the video content 1 is a piece of video content in the incoming call video theme type.

S1050: After the electronic device 1 detects that the user A answers or hangs up the call, the video content 1 on the electronic device 1 disappears.

S1060: A user C makes a call to the user A by using an electronic device 3.

S1070: Display video content 2 in an incoming call interface of the electronic device 1, where the video content 2 is another piece of video content in the incoming call video theme type.

With reference to the foregoing embodiments and related accompanying drawings, an embodiment of this application provides another schematic flowchart of a method 1100 for presenting a video on an electronic device when there is an incoming call. The method 1100 may be implemented in the electronic device (for example, a mobile phone) that has a screen (for example, a touchscreen) and that is shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 . As shown in FIG. 11 , the method 1100 may include the following steps.

S1110: The electronic device receives a first incoming call request.

S1120: The electronic device displays a first incoming call display interface on the screen based on the first incoming call request, and plays a first video in the first incoming call display interface.

For example, as shown in FIG. 4A, when there is an incoming call from the user “Wu Xiaofang” at 9:10, the mobile phone displays an incoming call display interface on the touchscreen, and plays the video 2 in the video theme type 5 in the incoming call display interface.

S1130: The electronic device receives a second incoming call request.

S1140: The electronic device displays a second incoming call display interface on the screen based on the second incoming call request, and plays a second video in the second incoming call display interface.

The first incoming call request and the second incoming call request are two call requests consecutively received by the electronic device, and the first video is different from the second video.

According to the method, provided in this embodiment of this application, for presenting a video on an electronic device when there is an incoming call, a user is allowed to select a plurality of incoming call videos, and video content that is different from video content displayed when a previous incoming call is received may be displayed each time an incoming call is received, thereby bringing good experience to the user.

For example, as shown in FIG. 4B, when there is an incoming call from the user “Wu Xiaofang” at 11:15, the mobile phone displays an incoming call display interface on the touchscreen, and plays the video 3 in the video theme type 5 in the incoming call display interface, where incoming call from the user “Wu Xiaofang” at 9:10 and the incoming call from the user “Wu Xiaofang” at 11:15 are two incoming calls consecutively received by the electronic device, and the video 2 and the video 3 are different videos in the video theme type 5.

Optionally, the method 1100 further includes the following.

The electronic device requests a plurality of videos from a server, where the plurality of videos include the first video and the second video, and the electronic device receives the plurality of videos sent by the server.

According to the method, in this embodiment of this application, for presenting a video on an electronic device when there is an incoming call, the user is allowed to select a video theme, the video theme may include a plurality of videos, and video content that is different from video content displayed when a previous incoming call is received may be displayed each time an incoming call is received, thereby bringing good experience to the user.

Optionally, before playing the second video in the second incoming call display interface, the method 1100 further includes the following.

The electronic device automatically determines the second video that needs to be played in the second incoming call display interface.

According to the method, provided in this embodiment of this application, for presenting a video on an electronic device when there is an incoming call, the electronic device can automatically switch video content between two consecutive incoming calls without a manual operation of the user. This helps improve user experience.

For example, as shown in FIG. 3C, after detecting that the user taps the control 305, the mobile phone may request a plurality of videos in the video theme type 5 from the server, and locally store the plurality of videos in the video theme type 5 that are obtained by requesting. When there is an incoming call from the user “Wu Xiaofang” at 11:15, the mobile phone may automatically determine, from the plurality of videos, the video 3 as a video that needs to be played in an incoming call display interface, or the mobile phone may automatically switch the video that needs to be played in the incoming call display interface from the video 2 to the video 3.

For example, a time point at which the mobile phone automatically determines, from the plurality of videos, the video 3 as the video that needs to be played in the incoming call display interface may be a time point at which the mobile phone receives the plurality of videos from the server, and then a sequence of playing the plurality of videos in the incoming call display interface may be determined. Alternatively, the time point at which the mobile phone automatically determines, from the plurality of videos, the video 3 as the video that needs to be played in the incoming call display interface may be a time point at which the mobile phone answers or hangs up the incoming call from the user “Wu Xiaofang” at 9:10, and it may be determined that the video 3 is played in the incoming call display interface next time there is an incoming call from the user. Alternatively, the time point at which the mobile phone automatically determines, from the plurality of videos, the video 3 as the video that needs to be played in the incoming call display interface may be a time point at which the mobile phone receives an incoming call at 11:15, and it may be automatically determined that a video played in the incoming call display interface is the video 3.

Optionally, the method 1100 further includes the following.

The electronic device receives a setting instruction of a user, where the setting instruction is used to specify a range of a video played in an incoming call display interface, and the electronic device determines the first video and the second video based on the range specified by the setting instruction.

In this embodiment of this application, the range of the video played in the incoming call display interface may be videos from which the electronic device selects the video that needs to be played in the incoming call display interface. For example, the range may be a specified storage path, and an incoming call video is selected from videos in the storage path. For example, the range may alternatively be specified label information (or may be referred to as a theme or a type), and an incoming call video is selected from a range of a video having the label information.

According to the method, provided in this embodiment of this application, for presenting a video on an electronic device when there is an incoming call, the electronic device determines the range of the video content played in the incoming call display interface, to help the electronic device timely play a video in the range.

For example, the mobile phone receives a plurality of videos in the video theme type 5 from the server, and stores the plurality of videos in a storage path. Each time the mobile phone receives an incoming call request, the mobile phone may determine, from the plurality of videos in the storage path, a video that needs to be played in the incoming call display interface.

For example, the mobile phone receives a plurality of videos in the video theme type 5 from the server, and labels the plurality of videos with label information “video theme type 5”. Each time the mobile phone receives an incoming call request, the mobile phone may determine, from the videos with the label information “video theme type 5”, a video that needs to be played in the incoming call display interface.

For example, as shown in FIG. 6D, after detecting that the user taps the control 604, the mobile phone may determine that a range of a video played in the incoming call display interface is the four videos in the “cute puppies” category. Each time the mobile phone receives an incoming call request, the mobile phone can determine, from the four videos in the “cute puppies” category, a video that needs to be played in the incoming call display interface.

Optionally, at least a first subscriber identity module SIM card and a second SIM card may be installed in the electronic device. The configuration instruction includes a first configuration instruction and a second configuration instruction. The first configuration instruction may be used to specify a range of a video played in an incoming call display interface corresponding to an incoming call of the first SIM card. The second configuration instruction may be used to specify a range of a video played in an incoming call display interface corresponding to an incoming call of the second SIM card.

According to the method, provided in this embodiment of this application, for presenting a video on an electronic device when there is an incoming call, different incoming call videos may be set for different subscriber identity module cards. This helps improve user experience when there is an incoming call.

For example, referring to FIG. 5C, after detecting that the user taps the control 503, the mobile phone may load a new video theme type (for example, a video theme type 1) from the theme application, and request a plurality of videos in the video theme type 1 from the server. After the plurality of videos are requested, the mobile phone may store the plurality of videos in a storage path, the plurality of videos in the video theme type 1 are the range of the video played in the incoming call display interface corresponding to the incoming call of the first SIM card.

For example, referring to FIG. 5C, after detecting that the user taps a control corresponding to an incoming call video of the second SIM card, the mobile phone may load a new video theme type (for example, a video theme type 2) from the theme application, and request a plurality of videos in the video theme type 2 from the server. After the plurality of videos are requested, the mobile phone may store the plurality of videos in a storage path, the plurality of videos in the video theme type 2 are the range of the video played in the incoming call display interface corresponding to the incoming call of the second SIM card.

Optionally, at least a first subscriber identity module card and a second subscriber identity module card may be installed in the electronic device.

That the first incoming call request and the second incoming call request are two call requests consecutively received by the electronic device means that the first incoming call request and the second incoming call request are two call requests of the first subscriber identity module card, or that the first incoming call request and the second incoming call request are two call requests consecutively received by the electronic device means that the first incoming call request and the second incoming call request are two consecutive call requests of the second subscriber identity module card.

According to the method, provided in this embodiment of this application, for presenting a video on an electronic device when there is an incoming call, for a same subscriber identity module card, when receiving an incoming call request at different time points, the electronic device may play, in an incoming call display interface, different videos in a same video theme, and for another subscriber identity module card, when receiving an incoming call request at different time points, the electronic device may play, in an incoming call display interface, different videos in another video theme. This helps improve user experience when there is an incoming call.

For example, when an incoming call video of the first SIM card is of the video theme type 1, if the mobile phone consecutively receives two call requests for the first SIM card, the mobile phone may respectively display a video 5 and a video 6 in the video theme type 1 in two incoming call display interfaces.

For example, when an incoming call video of the second. SIM card is of the video theme type 2, if the mobile phone consecutively receives two call requests for the second SIM card, the mobile phone may respectively display a video 7 and a video 8 in the video theme type 2 in two incoming call display interfaces.

It should be understood that, in this embodiment of this application, two consecutive incoming calls may not be distinguished between the two SIM cards. In other words, a first incoming call request is an incoming call request for the first SIM card, and a next incoming call request following the first incoming call request is an incoming call request for the second SIM card. For the incoming call request of the first SIM card, the video 5 in the video theme type 1 may be played in the incoming call display interface. For the incoming call request of the second SIM card, the video 7 in the video theme type 2 may be played in the incoming call display interface.

Optionally, before receiving the first incoming call request, the method 1100 further includes, when the first video is played or a file of the first video is displayed, detecting a first operation of the user, and setting, in response to the first operation, the first video as a candidate video to be played in an incoming call display interface.

According to the method, provided in this embodiment of this application, for presenting a video on an electronic device when there is an incoming call, when the user is watching a video or a video file is being displayed, the user may set the currently watched video or the displayed video file as an incoming call video, so that the user can timely adjust an incoming call video that the user expects to watch. This helps improve user experience.

For example, referring to FIG. 7B, after detecting that the user taps the control 702, the mobile phone may set the currently played video as the candidate video played in the incoming call display interface.

For example, a playback interface of the video of “Cat” shown in FIG. 713 is a video playback interface in a third-party APP. When the mobile phone is connected to a cellular network or a wireless local area network, the video may be watched online. After detecting that the user taps the control 702, the mobile phone may request the video of “Cat” from a corresponding server, and store the video in a storage path of the mobile phone. Videos in the storage path are candidate videos to be played in an incoming call display interface of the mobile phone.

For example, referring to FIG. 6D, when the user browses an album, the mobile phone may display classification information of a plurality of videos, and after detecting that the user taps the control 604, the mobile phone may use the four videos in the “cute puppies” category as candidate videos to be played in an incoming call display interface of the mobile phone.

Optionally, before receiving the first incoming call request, the method 1100 further includes, when a third video is played or a file of the third video is displayed, detecting a first operation of the user, displaying a setting interface for the third video in response to the first operation, detecting a selection operation of the user, where the selection operation is used to select a partial video clip in the third video, and determining the partial video clip in the third video as the first video based on the selection operation, and setting the first video as a candidate video to be played in an incoming call display interface.

According to the method, provided in this embodiment of this application, for presenting a video on an electronic device when there is an incoming call, when the user watches a video or it is shown that duration of a video file is excessively long, the electronic device may remind the user to perform video clipping, so that the user watches a video clip that the user prefers when there is an incoming call. This helps improve user experience.

For example, referring to FIG. 8A, the first operation may be an operation of tapping the control 801 by the user. After detecting the operation of tapping the control 801 by the user, the mobile phone displays a video clip interface for the video of “Cat”. The selection operation may be an operation of tapping the control 804 by the user. After detecting the operation of tapping the control 804 by the user, the mobile phone may determine the video clip from 3 minutes and 20 seconds to 3 minutes and 40 seconds in the original video as a candidate video to be played in an incoming call display interface of the mobile phone.

it should be understood that, after completing video clipping of the original video, the mobile phone may store the video clip obtained after the video clipping in a storage path, or store the video clip in an album.

Optionally, before the electronic device receives the first incoming call request, the method 1100 further includes adjusting definition of the first video,

According to the method, provided in this embodiment of this application, for presenting a video on an electronic device when there is an incoming call, when definition of a video selected by the user does not meet a definition requirement of playing a video in an incoming call display interface, the electronic device may automatically update the definition of the video, so that the user can timely watch a video that the user likes when there is an incoming call. This helps improve user experience.

For example, referring to FIG. 6B, after detecting an operation of tapping the control 602 by the user, the mobile phone may determine the video 601 as a candidate video to be played in an incoming call display interface of the mobile phone. In this case, the mobile phone may further determine definition of the video 601. For example, if the definition of the video 601 is ultra-high definition, but the definition of a video supported by the incoming call display interface is high definition or a definition lower than high definition, the mobile phone may further automatically adjust the definition of the video 601, for example, adjust the definition of the video 601 from ultra-high definition to high definition.

Optionally, when the electronic device plays the first video in the first incoming call display interface, the method further includes detecting a second operation of the user, and displaying a first control in the first incoming call display interface in response to the second operation, where the first control is used by the user to add the first video to favorites, give a like to the first video, or forward the first video.

For example, referring to FIG. 7D, the incoming call display interface includes the control 703, the control 704, and the control 705. Alternatively, the incoming call display interface includes some controls of the control 703, the control 704, and the control 705.

For a function of each control, refer to the description in the foregoing embodiment. For brevity, details are not described herein again.

Optionally, when the electronic device detects that the user triggers an answering control or a hang-up UI control, video content in an incoming call display interface automatically disappears.
